* [[Cult Classic]]: The bugginess of the game as it was originally released put a dent in its popularity, but a dedicated fanbase has grown over the years, especially in light of recent patches.
* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: The game is a very complex, ambitious and non-linear action/RPG with an intriguing, atmospheric story and multiple ways to solve the majority of the quests... until its last act, in which it drops the RPG part and becomes a somewhat hack-fest against waves and waves of enemies and obnoxious boss battles. In fact, while it is perfectly possible to complete most of the game with a non combat oriented character who focuses on - say - stealth or diplomacy but isn't particularly good with guns and swords, in the last chapters such character [[Nintendo Hard|will probably get his/her ass kicked]].
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: LaCroix despite being a [[Hate Sink]] and one of the most hated characters in-universe has a surprisingly large number of fangirls.
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Notable for the contributing factors. Pretty-much all in-game signs point to {{spoiler|the cab driver being Caine,}} but the developers, when questioned by fans, claim that there is no right answer, and the expanded-universe novel covering Gehenna puts {{spoiler|Caine}} elsewhere. ''However,'' it's entirely possible he put ''himself'' there so Beckett would find him in a circumstance that would make him appear trustworthy, or...yeah, you can justify either point of view.
** If you check out the folders associated with the game on your computer, {{spoiler|all of the Cabbie's voice-files are sitting in a file labeled Caine}}. As for conflicting with the novel, it's worth noting that {{spoiler|Caine is pretty much a vampiric God - disguising his appearance and seeming as if he were in two places at once would be child's play for him}}. If anything, it's possible that almost crossing paths with Beckett in LA is what prompted their later interaction in the novel...
